Verdict: Blockbuster has a professional site in their trademark yellow and blue scheme that includes a powerful search tool to help you navigate through their huge DVD collection. They also offer a list of other movies you may enjoy based on your selection. Trailers are even available for their more popular titles.
The site includes detailed descriptions of each title as well as the ability to add your own user rating or review. However, information on the various plans they offer was difficult to locate.

Verdict: Blockbuster has a quick turnaround of 1-2 business day for receiving DVDs. All movies and games are sent with prepaid return envelopes included.
Blockbuster Total Access gives them the option of returning the movies to their local participating Blockbuster store. In exchange, every online rental returned to the store can be redeemed for a free in-store rental within that same visit.
Blockbuster customers can easily change the order and priority of rentals by simply clicking the "add" icon under each movie cover. Their priority system works well; you will receive your rentals in order, depending on availability. We are also impressed with the fact that the company will accept user requests for titles not offered in their current collection.
The company's customer support consists of telephone, email and an comprehensive online help system.
Online support is a breeze if you receive a damaged disc, or if you loose the DVD sleeve or return. Just use their support Wizard to report any of these problems and it get resolved immediately.
Customers on any plan receive one coupon per month to rent a free DVD from a brick-and-mortar location.
